The Gospel of the Divine Mother – I
In the same way as the Divine Spirit descended from Hokhmah through the whole vertical structure of the Universe to give it a new impulse for evolution, the Divine Mother from Binah re-shapes all celestial and earthly realms of Creation. Emerging from the Absolute, in union with Hokhmah, the Divine Mother from Binah creates life in all realms of the vertical structure of the Universe as a Divine Temple – from the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem, through the various celestial worlds, to the life of humankind on Earth. On Earth she transforms and illuminates the Earth itself, human culture, society, the family, and the life of the individual human being. This is the Gospel of the Divine Mother with which now She blesses humankind!
So, in absolute harmony and union with the radiation of the Divine Spirit from Hokhmah, the Divine Mother, radiating from Binah, manifests Herself and forms the substance of the new reality. Thus, if the Divine Spirit forms the system of co-ordinates and constitutes Time (through the celestial Zodiac) and Space (through the four directions of the New Jerusalem), the Divine Mother forms the Matter, or the Four Elements of the Holy City. In essence, the Elements on this celestial level of Being are aspects of the universal consciousness within which the higher worlds of Divine will, actions, emotions and thought-forms take shape. So, when we speak about the Elements Fire, Air, Water and Earth of the Heavenly Jerusalem, we mean the celestial worlds of Divine life-energy, thought-forms, emotions and actions. The matter of these Elements then is pure Divine Spirit, an essential part of the Gospel of the Divine Mother.
We find some keys for understanding of the four Elements, which form the reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem, in The Book of Revelation. In Chapter 21 it is said: The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God shines on it, and the Lamb is its lamp. (Revelation 21: 23) There shall be no more night, and they will not need lamps or sunlight, because the Lord God will be their light. (Revelation 22:5)
If we compare these visions with the fourth day of Genesis when G-d created ‘the sun, the moon and the stars to rule over the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness’ (Genesis 1:14-18), we will realize that the ‘Holy Trinity’ of the higher three Sefiroth in the World of Creation, i.e., Keter, Hochman and Binah itself is the great Cosmic-spiritual Sun which never sets. The Light radiating from this eternal Cosmic-spiritual Sun enlightens all the Universe. If the light of our physical Sun gives life on Earth, then the light emanating from the Cosmic-spiritual Sun is the life itself in Creation. Therefore, the Element Fire in the new reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem is G-d, who through the Divine Father and the Divine Mother, as the great Cosmic-spiritual Sun, radiates eternal Light. The Divine Mother, however, is this aspect of the ‘Holy Trinity’ which shapes this Light and makes it a source of life in all levels of Being.
The Element Earth of the Heavenly Jerusalem we could identify with ‘the street of the city which was of pure gold, transparent as glass‘. The Element Earth is represented also by ‘the wall of the city, and the twelve gates, built on twelve foundation stones adorned with all kinds of precious stones‘ (Revelation 21:12-21). All these crystallizations of the Element Earth are ‘condensed Spirit’. The essence of this celestial Earth-Element is the living Light, every particle of which is a Divine idea, a thought-form, an archetype, a precious ‘spiritual crystal’. One such crystal is more precious than all the treasures on Earth, for all earthly treasures are but bits of glass and stone compared to Heaven’s crystal which is condensed living Light, a veritable particle of Eternal Being. In this context the twelve Gates are not only symbolic images, but they have a number of very important characteristics and distinguish the different types of initiations. All these Earth-constituents of the Heavenly Jerusalem are ‘built’, manifested and sustained by the Divine Mother. The celestial Element Earth also represents the Divine world of actions. In The Book of Revelation, it is mentioned that the Heavenly Jerusalem, ‘has been given clean shining linen to wear. (The linen is the good deeds of God’s people.)’ (Revelation 19: 8). So, from a metaphysical point of view, we will be invited to attend the Wedding Feast in Heaven dressed in clean shining linen, i.e. with our good deeds. Thus, we will experience the essence of the Element Earth in the Heavenly Jerusalem.
As to the Element Water in the Heavenly Jerusalem, from the Throne of G-d ‘the river of the water of life sparkling like crystal’ arises and flows down the middle of the city street (Revelation 22:1). This river is the life-energy of the Divine Mother which springs from the Throne of G-d and takes the form of ‘the water of life’. In The Book of Revelation almost all scenes related to the Throne of G-d mention the sound of a roaring waterfall. The waterfall refers to the prana-energy of the Universe and to the holy sound OM which holds the vibration of all Creation. The waterfall, the cosmic sound OM, the river of life sparkling like crystal are all manifestations of the Divine Mother.
On Earth, the Element Water also symbolizes the Divine world of emotions. Now, unfortunately, the river of human emotions is rather polluted by impure desires, negative emotions, psychological complexes, drug abuses and other wrong patterns. In Holy Communion with the Divine Mother, we have to purify the river of our emotional life and make it to sparkle again like crystal, reflecting the shining Cosmic-spiritual Sun.
The element Air of the Heavenly Jerusalem is the ‘Air of Truth’, the Divine world of thought-forms which constitute the ‘noosphere‘ in the higher spiritual realms. In comparison with the Air of the Holy City, the ‘noosphere’ of humanity on Earth is extremely polluted by wrong concepts, ideas and thought-forms. In Chapter 19, St. John depicts the Rider on the White Horse with his armies of heaven making war against the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies (Revelation 19:11-21). Then I saw an angel standing on the sun. He shouted in a loud voice to all the birds flying in mid-air: ‘Come and gather together for God’s great feast.’ (Revelation 19: 17)
This scene reflects the great struggle between the heavenly and the earthly cultures. The noosphere around the Earth has to be purified, transformed, spiritualized and illuminated. All wrong concepts and thought-forms of humankind have to be destroyed in order to open the space for the ‘Air of Truth’. It is said that ‘nothing that is impure will enter the city, nor anyone who does shameful things or tells lies.’ (Revelation 21:27) So, the Air of the Holy City requires new ‘noosphere’ and mentality of humankind – illuminated, spiritualized and made sacred by the Divine Mother.
The four celestial Elements of the Heavenly Jerusalem (the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth) brought into existence by the Divine Mother, build the Holy City as a Divine Temple. In The Book of Revelation, it is said: ‘I did not see a Temple in the city, because its temple is the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb’ (Revelation 21:22). G-d, personifies by Metatron at Keter in the World of Creation, through the Divine Mother, emanating from Binah, makes the City a Divine Temple of celestial life, where the Divine Spirit, emanating from Hokhmah, is the highest Priest in this Temple. In other words, the Divine Mother, who forms the substance, that is the Four Elements of the New Jerusalem, builds the whole City as a Divine Temple, where the Divine Spirit, performing the celestial Mandala, is the ‘Living Cross’.
Let me give a few examples from the Gospel of the Divine Mother. On a planetary level the Divine Mother will fill the Four Elements with the vibrations of the Holy Spirit. She will purify, spiritualize and illuminate the whole Earth making it like a ‘bride’ for the Sun. The etheric layer around the Earth will become a space for the fusion between the Heavenly Jerusalem and the illuminated Earth. Figuratively speaking, a magnificent etheric Temple will be built upon the whole planet with a gigantic cosmic-spiritual Cross of Light at the Centre of the Temple. In this transfigured Earth-Temple all kingdoms of life will be present in Divine Harmony, Wisdom and Truth.
The feminine archetype is also related to the process of purification, transformation and illumination of matter. By its very essence, this archetype is the printing and the implementation of spiritual ideas in the material world. The Divine Mother will permeate every structure of human life on Earth with the vibrations of the Holy Spirit. When we speak about the descent of the Kingdom of God on Earth, it is the universal principle of the Divine Feminine which accomplishes this celestial task.
Another example is building our individual life as a Temple. When we pass the First and the Second Resurrection (i.e., reach the levels of cosmic consciousness of Neshamah and Chaya, helped by the Divine Light within), we build ourselves as a Divine Temple. At the same time, we have to build our life in relation to the family, society, Nature and the Earth, as a Divine Temple as well. This means that we have to respect the holiness and sacredness of life everywhere, to work for the purification and illumination of the Earth and to develop harmonious and friendly relationships with the people in all areas of our life. Only then, we could pass successfully through all stages in our life, from childhood to old age, thus fulfilling the purpose of our incarnation on Earth. For this development of our relationships, the Divine Mother takes constant care with great love, support, tenderness, compassion and provides us with everything we need for our spiritual growth. The Divine Mother, conveying the new creative impulse from the Living G-d, help us to transform even our daily life and to build it as a Divine Temple.
